Manuel Garcia

Manuel Garcia (aka, The Professor), 81, passed away at Columbus Colony Nursing Home in Westerville, OH on Saturday, November 4, 2017. He was born on March 14, 1936 in Texas, to Amado & Esperanza Garcia. He is a graduate of Bowling Green State University, The Ohio State University, and was an OSU Fellow in Romance Languages. He spoke three languages: English, Spanish, & French. He also served in the Army National Guard. He lived in Texas, Detroit, MI, Columbus, OH & Fremont, OH and was a High School Teacher & Assistant College Professor. Manuel was a faithful & faith-filled member of the Roman Catholic Church. He will be especially remembered for chasing away hiccups & gas bubbles.

So sorry to hear of Manuel’s death. I was one of the Hoffman neighbors and Manuel, Lamar, Anita and Theresa were always so kind to us. Grandpa even taught us Spanish numbers when he would pick us up from the bus. Our sympathies, Theresa (Hoffman) Jankowski
